OPEN STUDIO POEM #16

I’m going back to makeup.
Not the kerfuffle of my youth,
with eyeliner cattywumpus
to each brow,
not a sad attempt to erase
my decades on the road.
Just a streak of red on the lip,
a little taupe along the lid.
Since July, I’ve been attending an online Open Studio with four artists, who are now my friends. Most weeks, they give me words to use as prompts so I can practice my art while they do theirs. This week, I think they were out to get me.
You rose to the occasion with these tough words! Makeup and I have a tenuous relationship at best…..
I really did start wearing a little eyeshadow again recently. Taupe! Haven’t since college. An interesting project!
